Coating Guide INGENIA Compact solution for small batch sizes INGENIA is the ideal PVD coating system for frequently processed small quantities of tools per batch.
Tool supplier C6 Com- posite Tooling and its coating partner Oerlikon Balzers have shown how tool service life can be tri- pled and tool costs halved in the complex drilling process for composite components
, Forming Tools and Components.
Extending the tool service life also keeps the number of tool changes and associated downtime to a minimum, resulting in lower overall energy consumption.
It ensures consistent coating quality across a wide range of tool geometries – from micro drills and inserts to large-diameter milling tools and saw blades.
Coating Guide Heat Treatment Plasma heat treatment Component and tool surfaces are subject to a multitude of conditions that may affect their behaviour and properties.
Customers benefit from longer tool service life and high-quality production output.

This means greater efficiency and a significant reduction in costs: less tool wear, fewer tool changes and less downtime in production.
Ceramics for Semiconductor Tooling The critical nature of semiconductor manufacturing requires crucial attention to the materials used to coat production tooling.
